Hi Andy. I would love to have come but I have my treatment being delivered between 1-6. On a phased work return as well. I’ve not been to the Thursday one (monthly), what’s your experience of it? L x
Hi Star1981 I’ve been a couple of times and I was disappointed that this was nearly all that was on offer. Chatting to people there it seems most are very happy and it is important that it should be continued. It is just I would like to see more MSers able to join groups and activities. I would like to see groups in the day and evening, exercise groups maybe and perhaps specific groups like newly diagnosed, young, men/ women? Really, whatever is wanted. Have you been? What do you think?
Hi Andy, I haven’t been. I rang a couple of days after I was dx and it kinda scared me a bit. I was told about how someone with MS had lived to the age of 70 “so that’s good isn’t it?”…in my head I was screaming “NO”. I really want to meet up with people locally. I’m 32 and live just outside Kettering. I would love exercise things, even just chatting in a pub or something. The age thing isn’t massive, but yeah chatting to people in their 30’s/40’s and 50’s would be great. A bit about me, dx with RRMS in dec and on Copaxone. I hope to eventually be at work full time, but on a phased return at the minute. Feel free to pm me if you want? I’d be happy to catch up etc L x
